Hi there,
The system MUST know where to look for the libraries,
the system knows this info from the LD_LIBRARYPATH
to set it up, pu the following line in your;
Which file What
.cshrc setenv LD_LIBRARYPATH /usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib
.profile LD_LIBRARYPATH=/usr/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib
You may also put this in /etc/rc (these lines are there by default)
most probably you SHOT them too.
# Make shared lib searching a little faster. Leave /usr/lib first if
you
# add your own entries or you may come to grief.
_LDC=/usr/lib
if [ -d /usr/lib/compat ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/lib/compat" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/X11R6/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/X11R6/lib" ; fi
if [ -d /usr/local/lib ]; then _LDC="${_LDC} /usr/local/lib" ; fi
echo 'setting ldconfig path:' ${_LDC}
ldconfig ${_LDC}
for the record, you may also issue the following command;
man ldconfig
and learn how to manually do things with libraries on the system.
If the problem persists, givbe more description, which Library,
etc, and you'll get more HELP.
Greetings
